Breaking Barriers for Women in Rural Newfoundland

Summary
This 31-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. NorPen Status of Women Council will help women in rural Newfoundland overcome barriers related to post-secondary education and employment. This will be achieved by conducting an in-depth community-led research within its catchment area, by developing and proposing new policies and procedures to overcome identified barriers for post-secondary institutions, government bodies and rural employers in the region, and by creating and sustaining partnerships with concerned stakeholders to initiate systemic change.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, and by increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality.
The organization will be mindful of applying a GBA+ analysis in all aspects of the project and will formulate conclusions based on comparative evidence. Necessary reports will be completed to support findings, identify long-term outcomes, and evaluate the sustainability of the project.
The NorPen Aboriginal Women’s Circle will play a valuable role in the project as they will help the organization identify barriers within the indigenous community and offer insight on how to apply an Indigenous lens to all aspects of the project.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 31 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID 19, grâce à des changements systémiques. Le NorPen Status of Women Council aidera les femmes des régions rurales de Terre Neuve à surmonter les obstacles aux études postsecondaires et au marché du travail. Pour ce faire, il mènera une recherche communautaire approfondie dans la zone qu’il dessert, il élaborera et proposera de nouvelles politiques et procédures pour surmonter les obstacles cernés pour les établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire, les organismes gouvernementaux et les employeurs ruraux de la région, et il établira et maintiendra des partenariats avec les parties prenantes pour amorcer un changement systémique.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en faisant la promotion de politiques et de pratiques inclusives, et en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique en faveur de l’égalité des femmes.
L’organisme s’assurera d’appliquer l’Analyse comparative entre les sexes Plus (ACS Plus) une ACS+ à tous les aspects du projet et formulera des conclusions fondées sur des données comparatives. Il produira les rapports nécessaires pour étayer les constatations, déterminer les résultats à long terme et évaluer la durabilité du projet.
Le NorPen Aboriginal Women’s Circle jouera un rôle important dans le projet, car il aidera l’organisme à cerner les obstacles auxquels la communauté autochtone est confrontée et apportera un éclairage sur la façon d’appliquer une perspective autochtone à tous les aspects du projet.
